Endocrine Disruption: Structural Interactions of Androgen Receptor against Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate and Its Metabolites

Toxics, 2020
Diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) is a commonly used plasticizer in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride plastics for household and commercial use. DEHP is a ubiquitous ecocontaminant and causes developmental and reproductive problems in children and adults.

Comparing the effects of diethylhexyl phthalate and dibutyl phthalate exposure on hypertension in mice

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2019
Epidemiological studies have shown that high molecular weight phthalates (HMW) such as diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), are associated with hypertension in humans, while low molecular weight phthalates (LMW) such as dibutyl phthalate (DBP), have hardly any impact on the elevation of blood pressure.

Distribution of Orally Administered Diethylhexyl Phthalate in Laying Hens

Poultry Science, 1982
Abstract The distribution of diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) administered to laying hens has been investigated. DEHP administered orally was detected in almost all organs and tissues of the laying hens. An especially high level of concentration was present in the adipose tissues and feathers. The shift of DEHP from skin to feather was suggested.
